What are the credentials of an MVP? Is it the best player, the best player on the best team, or the best player on the most surprising team? At 3 And D we say the MVP is the player a team could least afford to lose, so we take CP3, King James, KD and Melo off of their respective squads and see how those teams would do.

The art of trash talking is part of the game, but is it possible to go too far? Carmelo certainly thought so when KG talked about his wife and compared the flavor of the former VJ’s vajayjay to a breakfast cereal classic. However, was Garnett just using another tool in his arsenal to make sure he gets the win?

In part two of the NBA Talent Rankings, the top five Power Forward and Centers are ranked. At Shooting Guard, does anyone have the venom to unseat the Mamba? As for Small Forward, I’m going to take a guess and say that the now crowned King may figure prominently in the final tally.
